When the houd dog barkin in the black of the night,
Stick my hand in my pocket, everythings all right.

In every county there,

Is cuttin through the air.

Anywhere, yall,
Everywhere, yall,

I heard it on the x.

We can all thank doctor b
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
Cause if you dont Im sure you wont
Get to feeling right.

Anywhere, yall,
Everywhere, yall,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the x.
